Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 556: Chapter 555: 3 Half-Step Emperor Realms! Is Chu Sheng Doomed?

Chu Sheng, however, was confused.

’Run? Why should I run?’

’Right now, besides a true Emperor Realm expert, who could possibly stop me?’

The Qin Family is one of the Capital City’s Top Three Families, and they do have an Emperor Realm ancestor watching over them—one of the Eight Emperors of Huaxia.

’But I’ve looked into it. That Qin Family Patriarch is busy with important matters and won’t be back anytime soon.’

’It’s only been a day. There’s no way he could be in the Capital City already.’

’What the hell is there to be afraid of!’

Chu Sheng completely ignored Sun Deming’s warning and cut straight to the point. "I don’t give a damn about the Qin Family’s business. There’s only one thing I want to know right now!"

"The Spirit Realm! Have you ever heard of it? Answer me! Now!!"

Sun Deming was taken aback.

"Cheryl? Who’s that? Which Cheryl?"

Chu Sheng froze.

"Huh? There’s more than one Cheryl?"

"Well... of course there’s more than one! I know several Cheryls. Wait, what on earth are you trying to do?"

"...Are we fucking talking about the same thing?!"

Chu Sheng was about to lose his mind.

However, at that very moment, disaster struck!

An indescribably terrifying pressure, like the celestial river of the nine heavens crashing down, slammed down upon Jing University from above!

That pressure was suffused with the vast and boundless Law of Thunder!

Inside the office, Sun Deming was slammed flat on the ground by the pressure without so much as a grunt, unable to move an inch!

Chu Sheng also felt an immense pressure. His body buckled, and his expression flickered!

Then, an ancient and utterly furious voice, like rolling thunder from the heavens, echoed throughout the entire Capital City!

"Vile beast! Get out here and die!!"

Hearing that voice, the color drained from Sun Deming’s face. His eyes filled with despair and terror.

"The... The Qin Family Patriarch... is here!!"

"?"

Chu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat.

’The Qin Family Patriarch? Holy crap! That Emperor Realm expert really came back?!’

He subconsciously tried to activate his Boundless Wings and flee!

But he failed!

An even more terrifying Domain Power descended in an instant, completely sealing off tens of thousands of meters of space in every direction!

This wasn’t a Power like those at the King Realm, activated by Origin, nor was it a Power like those at the Emperor Realm, activated by Law.

This was something Chu Sheng had never seen before—a completely new existence that perfectly fused the Law of Thunder with Domain Power!

An Emperor Realm’s Power, while also rooted in Law, was more like a projection of that Law—all form and no substance.

But the Power before him seemed to be the Law itself!

Despite lacking the slightest hint of Space Law, it had forcibly sealed the entire area.

Within this Power, it was as if he were the one and only god of this world!

"An Em... Emperor Domain!"

"It’s an Emperor Domain!!"

Lying prone on the ground, Sun Deming’s voice trembled violently with fear.

’A storm raged in Chu Sheng’s heart. An Emperor Domain? A Great Emperor is really here?’

’No, that’s not right!’

’It’s not like I haven’t seen a Great Emperor before. Back then, the Eighth Emperor of Huaxia, Feng Wuji, and Empress Yuehua, Lin Yuehua—they both felt far more terrifying than this!’

’This aura isn’t even a tenth of Feng Wuji’s. How could this possibly be a Great Emperor?’

’Besides, can’t a true Emperor Domain pull people into a separate dimension?’

’This so-called Emperor Domain is just an empty shell. It’s more like a... prototype?’

A bitter smile appeared on Sun Deming’s face as he struggled to explain, "The one who’s come... isn’t the Qin Family’s true Great Emperor Patriarch..."

"The Qin Family has more than one patriarch. They also have a few... Half-Step Emperor Realm cultivators!"

"These patriarchs don’t have much of their Lifespan left. They hide in the shadows, clinging to life. Every time they make a move, it could mean their death."

"They are the true, one-time-use trump cards of the top Noble Families. They are absolutely never deployed unless it is a moment of last resort."

"But this time, you... have clearly enraged the Qin Family beyond measure."

Chu Sheng was dumbfounded. "A Half-Step Emperor Realm? And... they can already possess an Emperor Domain? This has to be just a prototype, right?"

He really didn’t know much about the realms above the Emperor Realm; after all, he was still a long way from reaching them.

"Yes..."

Sun Deming continued to explain with a bitter smile.

"With sufficient Qi Blood and comprehension of at least one Origin, one can enter the King-level."

"By comprehending at least one Law, forging a golden body, and refining the soul, one can enter the Emperor Realm."

"And to break through from the Peak of Emperor Realm to the true Emperor Realm, one must pass... the Triple Life and Death Gate!"

"The first gate involves fusing the Law one has comprehended with their Soul Power, forming the prototype of a Divine Thought."

"The second gate is to fuse the Law with the physical body, creating a true Emperor’s Body."

"The third gate is to fuse the Law with one’s Power, forming the prototype of an Emperor Domain—also known as a Half-Step Emperor Domain!"

"The order in which you pass these three gates doesn’t matter; they can be challenged in any sequence."

"Only after passing all three gates and then merging the Divine Thought prototype, the Emperor’s Body, and the Half-Step Emperor Domain into one can a person truly step into the Emperor Realm!"

"And this Qin Family Patriarch is an expert who has already passed the First Life and Death Barrier! He perfectly fused his comprehended Law of Thunder with his Power, thereby possessing a Half-Step Emperor Domain!"

"Even if dozens of experts at the Peak of Emperor Realm were to fall into his Half-Step Emperor Domain, they would face certain death!"

After hearing Sun Deming’s explanation, Chu Sheng realized how tricky the situation was.

’Holy cow, a Half-Step Emperor Realm is this strong?’

’But...’

’So what!’

’Damn it! When I was only at the Eighth-Grade Late Stage, I could go all out with my trump cards and kill the Liu Family Patriarch, an expert at the Peak of Emperor Realm!’

’Now, I’m at the King-level! And I have so many more trump cards!’

’Who’s to say I can’t fight this so-called Half-Step Emperor Realm?!’

’Perfect. I’m already pissed off with nowhere to vent my anger!’

’I’ll just take it out on you!!’

With that thought, Chu Sheng didn’t hesitate. In a flash, he flew straight out of the shattered window!

Sun Deming watched his departing figure and sighed silently, his eyes filled with despair.

’This isn’t going to be that simple...’

...

「Above Jing University.」

The moment Chu Sheng flew out, he saw a wizened old man floating in mid-air, his body emanating a terrifying, thunderous light.

The old man looked like he had one foot in the grave, but his gaze was terrifyingly sharp.

Surrounding Jing University, countless figures had formed an impenetrable perimeter.

There were people from the Qin Family, the lower seven families, and even Xuanyuan Hong, the eldest legitimate son of the Xuanyuan Family, had appeared on a nearby high-rise with his old servant, Zhao Li.

Xuanyuan Hong’s gaze was tinged with mockery as he watched the tiny mosquito, as if looking at something already dead.

He turned to Zhao Li with great interest. "Interesting. I don’t sense Gu Yuexi’s aura anywhere in the Capital City."

"And look—this mosquito doesn’t even have the scent of a Soul Contract that marks a Contracted Beast... Have they dissolved their contract?"

Zhao Li was also confused. "But why?"

Xuanyuan Hong shook his head and gave a nonchalant smile.

"I don’t know, but it no longer matters. I don’t care."

"In this death trap today, even if she and the mosquito had shown up together, they would have faced certain death. With the mosquito showing up alone... that’s enough to get it killed ten times over."

"Once this mosquito is dead, Gu Yuexi will never be able to hold onto the Divine Son position by herself. That position can only be mine."

"However, I’m more interested in the creature itself than the Divine Son position... I’ve already made a deal with the Qin Family. They are to leave it barely alive and hand it over to me."

The old servant, Zhao Li, was still worried. "Young Master, the Military Department... They won’t send someone to save it again, will they?"

Xuanyuan Hong gave a calm, confident smile.

"I’ve already sent people to stop them. Besides, this time, they have no reason to interfere."

"Last time, the mosquito had just performed a great service for the military. We acted rashly and without cause, so naturally, we were in the wrong."

"But this time, it was the one who provoked the Qin Family and destroyed their business. This is just a private conflict between the Qin Family and the mosquito."

"If the Military Department tries to force their hand again, it would be rather impolite of them... Do they really think the Qin Family’s Great Emperor Patriarch is a myth?"

Hearing this, Zhao Li nodded, a smile of understanding spreading across his face.

This was, indeed, a golden opportunity.

「Elsewhere.」

Luo Qingyu and Shen Yixuan had also rushed to the scene. Watching the spectacle in the sky, their hearts were in their throats with worry.

"Why did the mosquito come back alone? Where’s Gu Yuexi?"

"It’s over. It walked right into the Qin Family’s trap! That’s a Half-Step Emperor Realm, a terrifying expert at the First Layer of the Life and Death Realm! How can it possibly fight that?"

Just then, Xiao Tian approached from the side with a few students from Huaqing.

He looked up at Chu Sheng in the sky, his face filled with a strange confidence.

"What’s there to be afraid of? If Lord Mosquito dared to come back alone, he must have his reasons!"

"Don’t you forget, not long ago, when it wasn’t even Ninth Grade, it killed the Liu Family Patriarch, who was at the Peak of Emperor Realm!"

"Now, it’s advanced to the King-level! An unprecedented King-level that has even passed a Celestial Tribulation! Its power must have soared countless times! It might just be able to go head-to-head with this First Layer Life and Death Realm expert!"

Luo Qingyu and Shen Yixuan were both left speechless by his words.

Ever since that trip to the White Eagle Empire, the man had become Chu Sheng’s number one bootlicker. Wasn’t this confidence a little too blind?

Luo Qingyu couldn’t help but retort, "Xiao Tian, get a grip! That’s a First Layer Life and Death Realm expert who possesses a Half-Step Emperor Domain! Within that domain, he’s invincible! Forget one Liu Family Patriarch, even ten of them would be guaranteed to die if they entered! How can you even compare the two?"

Xiao Tian, however, waved his hand dismissively.

"Heh! I don’t care! I just believe that Lord Mosquito can work miracles!"

"It’s just one First Layer Life and Death Realm expert. As long as he goes all out and gives it his all, he definitely has a shot! It’s not like there are two or three of them..."

His words had barely faded.

In the sky, the space around the Qin Family Patriarch suddenly cracked open without any warning!

A terrifying, mountain-sized beast wreathed in black demonic flames and a grim-faced man in a gray robe wielding a giant scythe stepped out of the void at the same time!

The auras emanating from these two figures were not the slightest bit weaker than the Qin Family Patriarch’s!

They were also... at the Half-Step Emperor Realm, existences at the First Layer of the Life and Death Realm!

Their gazes were identical, locked dead-set on the tiny black mosquito!

"..."

Luo Qingyu and Shen Yixuan silently turned their heads to look at the completely frozen Xiao Tian beside them.

Xiao Tian: "..."
